PLEASE NOTE: Virginia law requires that those who register by mail, rather than in person, must vote in person the first time they vote. Exempt from this requirement are military service members and dependents, overseas citizens, full-time students, and disabled persons.

Download the Virginia Voter Registration Application (PDF). You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader program installed on your computer to view and print the application. Once downloaded, you may print the form, fill out completely and sign the form, and then mail it to us. This form may NOT be faxed to be accepted.

Please report change of name or address. To remain a qualified registered voter, the law requires you to notify your local voter registration office of any change in your name or address. This must be done before the registration books close for the next election. You can submit your notice of change of name or address either by mail (Office of the General Registrar; P.O. Box 3538; Williamsburg, Virginia 23185-3538) or by fax (757-220-6157). In either case, the notice must include your signature to be valid. Notice cannot be made by telephone or by e-mail.

After your change is processed, you will be mailed a new Voter Information Card. If a new card does not arrive within a few weeks, please call us at 757-220-6157 to confirm that your notice was received.
